A gripping and unsettling parable; Foxfinder is a darkly comic exploration of belief; desire and responsibility; set in a world both strange and familiar. William Bloor; a foxfinder; arrives at Sam and Judith Coveys farm to investigate a suspected contamination. He is driven by his education and beliefs to unearth and destroy an animal that threatens mans civilisation; and to remain free from its influence himself. As his investigations proceed; the events that follow change the course of all their lives - for ever. Winner of the 2011 Papatango New Writing Competition. Dawn Kings play shines out like a beacon... the most compelling new work I have seen this year Guardian

He presents this information and his analysis in a way that permits those who are not familiar with the subject to understand it all quite easily. A book of great erudition which reads like a detective novel!2 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
